Being a public space - and one full of animals, kids in strollers and a lot of foot traffic - Lincoln Park Zoo doesn't offer much in the way of unexpected hideaways or secret gardens. But there are areas that often get overlooked in the rush to visit the giraffes. One is near the main entrance, just east of the Brach Primate House. The Dream Lady statue - the Eugene Field memorial - by Edward Francis McCartan, depicting an angel hovering over two sleeping children, sits at the end of the path, shaded by trees, an urban oasis.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned comments by Russia's human rights envoy on the situation in the kingdom as "hostile" and an unjustified interference in the kingdom's internal affairs, the Saudi state news agency (SPA) reported. The rare public exchange appeared to reflect tensions over the 16-month-old uprising in Syria where Russia has resisted introduction of Western- and Arab-backed sanction against President Bashar al-Assad. Russian Human Rights envoy Konstantin Dolgov had expressed "great concern" about the situation in eastern Saudi Arabia following what he described as clashes between law enforcement and peaceful demonstrators in which two people were killed and more than 20 were wounded, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry website.

RIYADH (Reuters) - To outsiders, the al-Saud ruling family's succession process often appears opaque. But behind the ornate doors of Riyadh's palaces, the senior princes in a family thousands strong have long planned the next step in a complex dance of power. Saudi Arabia's Defence Minister Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz is widely seen as the next most senior prince in the world's top oil exporter after the death of Crown Prince Nayef, which was reported on Saturday, just eight months after he had become the heir himself.

Better and more darkly imaginative than its headache of a coming-attractions trailer suggests, "Snow White and the Huntsman"follows another Snow White re-do,"Mirror Mirror," into theaters by two months and two days. That's not much time for audiences to get re-interested in another twist on a classic fairy tale. But they should. The story elements going back to the early 19th century Brothers Grimm version remain present, with tweaks. Snow White, the daughter of the king, endures the death of her mother and acquires a stepmom (stepqueen?

Nothing in a Wes Anderson movie is quite like life. He creates odd, gorgeous miniature universes on screen, setting his characters in italics, so that they become characters playing themselves in a pageant inspired by their own lives.

The Kings were five points out of a playoff spot and stood a wobbly 11th in the Western Conference on Dec. 22, the day Darryl Sutter made his debut as their coach. The team he took over was flailing. General manager Dean Lombardi thought he had acquired the final pieces for a contender six months earlier when he traded for center Mike Richards and signed free-agent winger Simon Gagne, but the offense was sputtering. Coach Terry Murray's defense-oriented foundation had become the team's ceiling, leaving no room for skill or creativity.

CANNES, France -- Here's Bill Murray, a rumpled riot in mismatched summer wear, talking about his ongoing screen collaboration with writer-director Wes Anderson, the filmmaker (who still shoots on actual, tactile-friendly film, Super 16 millimeter in this case) who gave us "Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums,""Fantastic Mr. Fox"and other fastidiously framed and eccentrically observed studies in young people, their addled elders and their elaborate coping mechanisms: "Sometimes," Murray said at the press conference following the premiere of Anderson's"Moonrise Kingdom"here in Cannes, "when you work with a director you know you not only may never see him again, sometimes you hope you never seen him again.
